Living Truthfully in Classroom Circumstances: Responding to Moments of Uncertainty in Teaching and Acting
Zimmerman, Aaron; Eubank, Chrissy; Goldberg, Elizabeth; Lahr, Emily; Sneed, Stacey; Welch, Stephanie
Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue, v24 n1-2 p155-172 2022
This conceptual essay draws on the advice for actors offered by David Mamet and Sanford Meisner in order to highlight how uncertainty is a dilemmatic feature of both acting and teaching. This essay argues that perhaps the only way to prepare for uncertainty (either on the stage or in the classroom) is to be open to uncertainty and to be willing to live truthfully during these moments.
